If Chibnall is planning on a season without the murderous robot alien race, it would be the first time they’ve been excluded from the series since the classic Doctor Who episodes, which is something fans will almost certainly feel strongly about.
Chris Chibnall surprised many in the crowd with the statement, as a season of Doctor Who without past villains almost sounds unfathomable.
Sure, not every season of the series has featured a Weeping Angel, or the same variation of the Cybermen, but who can think of the last time Doctor Who aired a Dalek free season?
Chibnall likely knows that, which may be why he slyly said “yet,” as if to say a classic villain may return by the time shooting for the season completes.
